Property in Los Altos: buy or rent long term

Newer residential developments on the southern edge of Torrevieja, a short drive to Punta Prima beach and La Zenia’s shopping.

Living in Los Altos

Los Altos sits between central Torrevieja and the Orihuela Costa, which puts Punta Prima’s beaches and the Zenia Boulevard shopping centre within a few minutes’ drive. It is mostly residential developments with communal pools, and it feels younger than the older urbanisations.

Buying in Los Altos

A mix of resale townhouses and apartments from the 2000s and newer builds. Because stock is newer, energy ratings and layouts are often better than in older districts. Compare total cost carefully: a new build pays 10% VAT plus 1.4% stamp duty, a resale pays 9% transfer tax.
